You're absolutely right about the beauty of that bike. And the G 80 CS remains the finest looking big British single ever. Thanks for letting us see your bike!
I don't know if anything has happened to Don, but please do as he did and thoroughly ride the bike giving a continual insight into it's merits. Although I enjoyed seeing the Matchless and hearing it (briefly), I sure would have enjoyed more riding of it. We in the audience have nothing more than a vicarious position here and love to see more involvement with the bikes. Yeah, I'm a critic, but I love these vintage bikes and the people involved with them, so keep the "vicarious" part in mind. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment Kyle. Sadly, the knowledgeable, charming and witty Don is no longer with us - he is greatly missed. We respect the 'vicarious' position and would like to up our pruduction values, but only have passion to finance our little films. However, we feel it is important to archive these historic machines and their well informed custodians.
I owned a 1953 G9 in 1960. My first bike. The previous owner had installed G45 style reverse cone mufflers - sounded fantastic at change-down from 4th at 60 mph!!!
Magnificent machine. Thank you for showing us your fabulous G45
Glad you like it!

Our pleasure!
Thank you for sharing this magnificent machine with us 👍 looks and sounds wonderful 😀🏍⛽🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic looking and sounding bike.
Agreed!
I saw my 1st G45 about 1954 at Alton Towers when they had a motorcycle short track there. I was riding an ex WD G3 at the time.
Stunningly beautiful. Thanks for posting, love the vintage race bikes
Thanks for your comment - couldn't agree more.
Great video and presentation. Great to see a good rider too.
Thank you kindly!
Congratulations! From brazil , i love matchless
This is a brand that needs a comeback!
For sure ! Have my granddads matchless 350, still putting it together …..need so many more parts though 🥲
@@GazderVarun Good luck!
I was surprised more effort wasn’t put into the G45, beautiful machine.
I remember a story about one of these. A guy approached a Matchless authority and said " I just bought a G45". " How unfortunate, says the expert ".
What a beautiful machine!!
We agree!
beautiful countryside and a killer machine

@@hoxtonmoto Beautiful, I have a warm relationship with Matchless from childhood.
Beautiful machine. At 0.35 the finned rocker cover must be in place of the exhaust.

Es. Una. Bellesa
What's the story with the bike being registered with the Austrian Association of veteran motorcycles?
Apparently, the bike was in Austria for some time classic racing
Sure is nice looking.
bit surprised it wouldn't go faster than a g50.
